BYG Brewski Brewing Company, Hennur – Bangalore
1. Architects
BYG Brewski Brewing Company at Hennur was designed by Mathew and Ghosh Architects, led by architects Soumitro Ghosh and Nisha Mathew Ghosh, with Soumitro Ghosh as the lead designer. The project was completed in 2018 and has a built-up area of approximately 3,672 sq. m.
2. Location 
The brewery is located at 22, Hennur–Bagalur Main Road, Byrathi Village, Bengaluru, near the Southern Asia Bible College.
Its location along the Hennur–Bagalur corridor provides good accessibility while allowing the project to occupy a large site away from the dense urban core.
3. Design
The design is conceived as a large-scale experiential brewpub, combining architecture, landscape, dining and entertainment. The original design vision was inspired by the Roman Colosseum, while the interiors incorporate references to Nordic and Viking mythology, reflecting the Byg Brewski brand.
The approximately 65,000-square-foot venue is divided into different experience zones. Large open spaces, dramatic structures, wooden elements, metal ramps, Nordic symbols and theatrical lighting create a strong sense of movement and discovery. The architecture focuses less on a conventional restaurant layout and more on creating an immersive social environment.
4. Significance
BYG Brewski Hennur is significant for introducing a destination-scale brewpub concept to Bengaluru. Rather than functioning only as a restaurant and brewery, it combines food, craft brewing, entertainment, landscape and architecture into a single experience.
Its monumental character and themed architectural spaces have made it a recognizable landmark in the Hennur area. The project also demonstrates how commercial architecture can use storytelling and spatial experience to create a memorable identity.
5. Sustainability
Sustainability at BYG Brewski can be understood primarily through its large open spaces, landscape integration and climate-responsive spatial planning rather than through a formally documented green-building certification.
The extensive outdoor and semi-open areas reduce the dependence on completely enclosed spaces and allow natural air movement and daylight to become part of the experience. The integration of landscape also softens the scale of the large development and creates a stronger connection between the built and natural environment.
As a brewery, the project also highlights the importance of responsible resource management, particularly water, energy and waste, although detailed project-specific figures for water recycling, energy efficiency or renewable-energy systems are not publicly documented in the sources reviewed. Therefore, these features should not be claimed as confirmed design elements without further project documentation.
Conclusion
BYG Brewski Hennur is an example of experiential commercial architecture, where architecture becomes an integral part of the entertainment and hospitality experience. Designed by Mathew and Ghosh Architects, the project combines a monumental Colosseum-inspired vision with Nordic-themed interiors, extensive social spaces and landscape to create one of Bengaluru’s distinctive brewpub destinations.
